<p>My second date with my husband (of 25 years) was the 1983 NU Dance Marathon! Neither of us were dancers, but we went to support our friends who were. The hot song of the time was Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” which I distinctly remember dancing to, and I fell in love with my husband on the DM dance floor. I am so impressed with how DM has grown throughout the years and am proud to support my son and his friends. </p>
<p>For those not in the Chicagoland area, you might be interested to note that on I-294, there is a billboard promoting the NU Dance Marathon.</p>
